Have Your Out Of Print Paper Money Appraised Before Cashing In!

March 19, 2021 by Colonial Acres Coins

As you may know, many Canadian paper money notes were officially removed from their legal tender status on January 1st, 2021. For the most part, this money can be cashed in for new paper money of the same value. However, you should consider getting your older bills appraised before you take the cash equivalent. Some of them may be worth more than they appear. Bank Notes Being Removed From Legal Circulation The Bank of Canada’s paper money only covers a few denominations at a time. Currently, only $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 bills are issued. However, typically, notes that…

As Countries Move Away from Paper Money, Are Canadians Following?

August 19, 2019 by Colonial Acres Coins

June 10, 2019 by Colonial Acres Coins

The devils in the detail they say, or perhaps the detail is the devil in the case of the 1954 Canadian paper money series.   In the early 1950s, the Canadian government decided to print a new series of paper money bills for the country. This series of eight banknotes displaying Canadian landscapes were introduced in 1954 and was created to replace the notes featuring King George VI that dated back to 1937. The new notes were supposed to be a fresh start for the country and symbols of British dominion were deliberately removed and replaced with symbols representing Canada’s…
